The lovely ladies of Vixen knew how to rock in the late 1980's. Their songs were also pretty submissive, like asking "How Much Love":
You're in the corner, turning your back, you're running away again
The more I give you, the less that you take, tell me where is it gonna end?
(Who-oh) I can see you've felt some pain
(Who-oh) I know you've been hurt before
(Who-oh) But I swear you won't get hurt nomore
Tell me how much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love is it gonna take
I'm reaching for you, getting so close, but you're always a step away
I wanna touch you 'n give you my love, what is it gonna take?
(Who-oh) I can see it in your eyes
(Who-oh) That you wanna let me in
(Who-oh) But you're scared that you'll get hurt again
Tell me how much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love is it gonna take
I've been searching for an answer
Uh tell me what it's gonna be?
[Solo]
How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love
How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love, tell me how much love
How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache
How much love
How much love is it gonna take, is it gonna take
How much love
I can see it in your eyes (How much love)
Come on and let me in, come on and let me in
Yeah, yeah (How much love) [to fade]
================================================
Here they are again: "Crying":
One look and I saw what I wanted to see
You know that you wrapped my heart
Around your finger so easily, yeah
With your centerfold body going through the moves
Why did I keep wasting the truth for you tonight
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you
'Cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
'Cause those days are gone, gone
Someone twisted you, so you gave it to me
Yeah, you gave it to me good
You're a nightmare everywhere
Disguised as a dream
Well, I got lost, wandering through the darkness
In your maze of lies
Your trapdoor-way right into my insides, but tonight
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you
'Cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
The tears are falling to the floor
But you won't catch me cryin' anymore
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you
'Cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
'Cause those days are gone, gone
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you
'Cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
Those days are gone, gone
Cryin', cryin', when I think about you
'Cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
Those days are gone, gone
Cryin', cryin'
=============================================
These girls could rock like the men, but they still owned and took pride in their feminity. Vixen didn't last long enough, as they were on "The Edge of a Broken Heart":
I can't believe I could've been so blind, but love is strange
I thought about it for a long long time, but the truth remains
I don't need another lonely night to dry my tears
The answer's plain as black and white, and I can see the picture very clear
[Chorus:]
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I don't wanna fall, I don't wanna crawl
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
It isn't like you never had the chance to change your tune
Did you think that I'm a dime a dance, well the dance is through
I been doing things your way too long, but baby that's over (baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I gotta be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder
[chorus]
I'll find someone else who's nothing like you
And who can play the game as well
And you're gonna be sorry baby - when it's over
[Solo]
I been doing things your way too long, baby that's over (baby that's over)
It won't be easy, but I've got to be strong
And if I wanna cry I don't need your shoulder
[chorus]
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
Don't you wonder why I gotta say goodbye
I been living on the edge of a broken heart
